Configuration Editor

The configuration editor allows a user to edit the configurations for RetroPie and Retroarch from a gui interface. Many common settings are set up so that a user can change the settings with a gamepad.

Manual configurations can also be set with the use of a keyboard.

The Configuration Editor can be accessed from the RetroPie menu or through the RetroPie Setup Script and navigate to Setup ▶ Configuration / tools ▶ configedit

When changing settings, there are notes at the bottom of the screen that explain each setting and what they do.
